Exhale and slowly bend the knees and come down into a Half-Squat, inhale and return to Extended Mountain, drop heels to ground exhale and fold from the hips, placing hands under feet for Gorilla. Return hands to hips and return to standing. Bring right foot to left thigh for Tree. Inhale and bring the right leg forward into Standing Extended Leg. Cross right ankle over left knee and sink down into Half Lotus Toe Balance. Fold forward, hands to mat and into a Half LotusForward Fold. Release leg, inhale and return to standing. Repeat sequence for the other side.
